The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 603

Mirabella rubbed her temples, feeling the need to clear things up. "I just didn't want you to feel out of place, you know?"

Nick's gaze met hers again, his eyes bright and serious, not a hint of humor in them. He nodded.

Maybe he had been overthinking things.

"How's your sleep these days, Nick?" Mirabella asked casually, shifting into a more comfortable position on the couch.

Sleep was a topic that brought a relieved nod from Nick. "That lavender sachet you gave me has worked wonders. I haven't had insomnia since."

Though his heart condition lingered, the nightmares that used to haunt him were gone.

"I've been diving into some psychology books lately, seeing if they might help," Mirabella said slowly.

She was skilled in medicine, but psychotherapy was new to her. It was worth exploring.

Nick lowered his eyes, struggling with a complexity he couldn't quite describe. His return home was prompted by a message from Zach on Messenger.

His interactions with this sister had been brief, yet her concern for his well-being, going so far as to study psychology for him, took him by surprise. Having seen the worst in people, he had become detached from most emotions.

His little sister, it seemed, was different.

Nick's expression softened as he replied, "It's good."

At that moment, the doorbell rang. Mirabella started to get up, but seeing Zach already heading to the door, she settled back down.

Their conversation wandered to other topics.
